They were comparing time pieces in
the Dewitt House office the other day.
A. L. Dennison, of Portland, was one of
them. Trustee Ben Hilton, of North
Arson. balanced a gold timer on his dex-
ter finger, and Hon. Rufus Prince. of
South Turner, produced the old reliable
sun regulator from his watch pocket. Ii
looked like convention of watch max
ers and served to point moral to the
story.
A cousin of mine" said Mr. Denni-
son. who was one of the same name as
myself, was the first person To make a
watch by machinery. and il was he who
established the Waltham Watch Works,
in Waltham. Mass He was abroad over
twenty years in Switzerland and on the
continent, introducing the watch making
machinery.
Not long ago. on a visit to this coun-
try. he came To me. He asked me this
question: How cheap do you suppose |

The President ~ u Public speaker

Washington Special tn the Boston Herald.
MIR. Cleveland's address ON Garfield
was in the style to which we have now
become so well accustomed: it seems in
credible that two years ago many people
specIIlated as to who wrote the PreSi-
dents public papers and speeches. Ev-
cry line that has ever appeared under or
over his name has been his own. On
this occasion, as has been his habit, he
wrote out beforehand what he wished
to say. and il was printed for private
distribution to the press in advance OF
the delivery. Then he spoke from MEM
ory and there is no man now IN public
life who can deliver an address with
such perfect accuracy as Grover Cleve-
land. His care in writing out his pub
lie utterances beforehand is great adj
vantage. because he seldom suffers from
error in reporting. l do not remember
that he has ever had occasion to make
any complaint of that sort. His Won
derful power of work never shows itself
more clearly than in the short papers
and speeches which have come from HIM
i'm such numbers since he has been Pres
ident. The special friends of Garfield
were delighted with what he said at the
monument. and this little speech will
make IA great many friends for him all
over the country.

The confession of George A. Harring-

awaken considerable thought concerning
the confessor That for the purpose oil

Gre his school-buildng containing many
pupils, aware as he must have been, of the
great danger to life, shows nature and
disposition that can not be attributed to
any thing but inordnate passion. But
with the death of school-mate burned in
the school house which he fired, upon his
hands, he proved himself a tiend indeed
when he again fired and thus destroyed a
second building. His action may be
attributable to q mania for burning as
were the murderers of Jesse Pomeroy to
his mania for killing. But whether for
revenge or fiendshness, or mania, it is
the duty OF the courts to place such a
dangerous youth where birthstone in his
hands will have no power to injure any
thing or ny-body but himself.

Our esteemed contemporary. the Age.
in replying to an assertion of the Jour
nal. SAYS in substance, that financial
panic would be the result of the republi-
can war tariff and the persistency OF the
party in keeping it up. The Age well
knows that in presenting this argument it
did not do itself justice. The tariff was a
necessary result OF the war and has at
tanned wonderful results in the purpose
for which il was planned. The republican
party foresaw that the tariff would have
to be scaled down, il devoted to this
purpose. "a the debt diminished. The
party has at every convention this year
declared in favor OF reduction of the
tariff and if in power would have done
something in this direction ere this. Every
reduction of taxation since the war has
been made by the republicans, not a
single dollar have the democrats since
they have been in power, taken from the
burdens" of the people; not because the
democrats have not sufficient power but
because they, to whom the task belongs,
are incompetent to present q wise and
feasible plan of tariff revision So that
ii an excessive tariff is the cause of the
impe ding panic as the Age argues, the
responsibility, from its own data. rests
upon the democratic party. which charged
with public affairs. is unable through
lack OF ability to properly manage them,
and whose inefiiciency and financial in
competency, panic would attest.

The increase in the number Of public
schools in the Southern states from 40
600 in 1880 to 81, 583 in 1887, as shown
by recent compilation of official reports,
ID one Of the most gratifying features IN
the development of that region. 1t indl-
Gates more accurately the extent and i'm
portance of the advance which the old
slave states have made since the days
when Southern statesmen were thanking
the Almighty that there were no free
schools within their territory.

strength" is the oft repeated claim made
by the democrats. If we were allowed to
Judge. we should consider this claim moi
only chestnut" but false. The constant
reports in the press show that in the West
he has not even held his own and staunch
democrats admit that this Western tour is
for the purpose of gaining greater popu'
larty. In the South his free trade doc
trnes have placed him in distavor. In the
North and East his strength is well ex
empified by the attitude of the Massachu
sets democratic convention which though
protesting loyalty acted very disloyally
If his strength is increasing daily it is in
an almost inconceivable degree, and we
notice that to retain his strength he is
compelled to devote all his energies and
